Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry, Solan

Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Solan, was established on 1st December, 1985 with the objective to promote education, research and extension education in the fields of Horticulture, Forestry and allied disciplines. Late Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar, the first Chief Minister and the architect of Himachal Pradesh perceived the importance of Horticulture and Forestry to develop and improve the State economy which led to the establishment of this University. Its history lies in erstwhile Himachal Agricultural College, Solan, established in 1962 and affiliated to the Panjab University. It became one of the campuses of Agriculture Complex of Himachal Pradesh University on its formation in 1970. Consequent upon the establishment of Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya in 1978, this campus became its Horticulture Complex and finally in 1985, assumed the status of a State University, being the only University in the country engaged exclusively in teaching, research and extension in Horticulture and Forestry. The University is located at Nauni in Solan District of Himachal Pradesh, 13 km from Solan on Solan-Rajgarh Road, at an elevation of 1300 metres above mean sea level. Solan town is situated on national highway (NH-22) and is well connected by train and bus services. The University has four constituent colleges, out of which, two are located at the main campus Nauni, one for horticulture and the other for forestry, having 9 and 7 departments, respectively. The third College i.e., College of Horticulture & Forestry is located at Neri in Hamirpur District on Nadaun-Hamirpur state highway, about 6 Km from Hamirpur town and is well connected with bus service. The college offers three Undergraduate Degree Programmes i.e. BSc (Hons.) Horticulture, BSc (Hons.) Forestry and B. Tech. Biotechnology and MSc degree programme in a few subjects. The fourth college i.e. College of Horticulture and Forestry, Thunag (Mandi) is located at Thunag District Mandi. This college offer BSc (Hons.) Horticulture and BSc (Hons.) Forestry degree programme. In addition, there are five Regional Research Stations, 12 Satellite Stations and five Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) situated in different zones of the State.

    EFFECT OF IBA CONCENTRATIONS AND GROWING MEDIA ON GROWTH AND ROOTING PERFORMANCE OF APPLE ROOTSTOCK BUD 9
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2012-12) AMANDEEP; SHARMA, C L
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Effect of IBA concentrations and growing media on growth and rooting performance of apple rootstock Bud 9” was undertaken at Pandah Experimental Farm of Department of Seed Science & Technology, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry Nauni, Solan H.P. during 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomised Complete Block Design (Factorial) with twelve treatment combinations replicated thrice, comprising of three IBA levels (0, 2000 and 2500 ppm) and four growing media (soil, sawdust, crop residue and FYM). Among different levels of IBA, the treatment IBA @ 2500 ppm recorded length of daughter shoot (137.26 cm), diameter of daughter shoot (10.41 mm), number of leaves (76.40), leaf area (44.99 cm2), leaf chlorophyll content (2.01 mg g-1), fresh weight of daughter shoot (118.65 g), dry weight of daughter shoot (61.66 g), per cent rooted shoots (73.98 %), average number of roots (10.85), longest root (27.95 cm), shortest root (6.85 cm), average root length (26.38 cm), root diameter (1.66 mm), fresh weight of roots (69.04 g), dry weight of roots (38.95 g), root: shoot ratio (0.61) and total biomass of rooted shoot (100.61 g). Among growing media, sawdust resulted in maximum length of daughter shoot (118.12 cm), diameter of daughter shoot (10.39 mm), number of leaves (74.10), leaf area (39.59 cm2), fresh weight of daughter shoot (117.16 g), dry weight of daughter shoots (62.41 g), per cent rooted shoots (67.73 %), average number of roots (10.14), longest root (27.51 cm), shortest root (6.55 cm), average root length (27.31 cm), root diameter (1.86 mm), fresh weight (66.41 g) and dry weight of roots (35.94 g), total biomass of rooted shoot (98.35 g). The interaction of IBA @ 2500 ppm + sawdust had exhibited maximum length of daughter shoot (143.73 cm), diameter of daughter shoot (12.12 mm), number of leaves (79.16), leaf area (48.18 cm2), fresh (143.50 g) and dry weight of shoots (74.50 g), per cent rooted shoots (76.23 %), average number of roots (13.16), longest root (32.11 cm), shortest root (9.11), average root length (32.16 cm), root diameter (2.34 mm), fresh weight of roots (86.16 g), dry weight of roots (50.50 g) and total biomass of rooted shoot (125.00 g

    STANDARDISATION OF NURSERY TECHNIQUES FOR BETTER OUTPLANTING PERFORMANCE IN AONLA (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.)
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2014) NEGI, RAVEENA; SHAMET, G.S.
    The present investigation entitled “Standardisation of nursery techniques for better outplanting performance in aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.)” was undertaken in the Department of Silviculture and Agroforestry, Dr.Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan- 173230 (HP) during 2013-2014. The study involved two nursery experiments and one outplanting experiment, each laid out in randomized block design (factorial), replicated thrice, to standardize best growing medium and container type and to determine best shoot and root pruning levels to compare the transplanting performance in the nursery. During the present investigation, it has been revealed that seedlings raised in polybag of size 9”x4.5” with eight side + eight bottom perforations and use of growing medium consisting of soil + sand + mushroom compost in ratio of 1:1:2 recorded significantly highest germination (76.00%), growth and biomass production in the seedlings. Furthermore, the seedlings raised in this way resulted in superior outplanting survival (93.33%), final height (63.13cm) and collar diameter (7.62mm) growth in the field. Similarly, the use of shoot pruning at 10cm and root pruning at 13cm level during the month of August resulted in significantly highest transplanting survival(83.33%), growth and biomass production in the plants at the end of eighth month and therefore proved to be the best treatment for raising quality planting stock in the species.

    CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF SOME NEWLY INTRODUCED POMEGRANATE (Punica granatumL.) GERMPLASM ACCESSIONS
    (UHF,NAUNI, 2014) SINHA, SUPARNA; THAKUR, DINESH S.
    ABSTRACT The present investigations entitled “Characterization and evaluation of some newly introduced pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) germplasm accessions” was carried out in the Department of Fruit Science, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. Twenty pomegranate genotypes namely Parfyanets, Saharnyi, Loulou, Nusai, Cloud, Green Globe, Podarok, Crab, Al-sirin-nar, Purple Heart, Kaim-anar, 20090265, Gulyalek, Haku-botan, Alk Pust Ghermez Saveh, Eve, Dewey, Ovadan, Sogdiana and Orange were evaluated for their plant, foliage, floral and fruit characters. Dewey recorded maximumplant height (3.18 m) whereas; minimum plant height (1.35 m) was recorded in 20090265. Shedding of leaf started from 13 th November (20090265) and extended till 4 th December (Saharnyi). Time of full bloom extended from 10 th April in Orange to 15 th June in Haku-botan. The longest duration (195 days) of flowering was recorded in Haku-botan and shortest (40 days) in Saharnyi and Nusai. Time of fruit maturity was early (5 th August) in Dewey and late (24 th August) in Ovadan. Pollen viability ranged from 91.13 per cent to 97.93 per cent when tested by 2.0 per cent acetocarmine and 83.24 to 89.42 per cent by 0.1 per cent erythrosin B. In vitro pollen germination varied from 34.28 per cent to 69.72 per cent. Largest and heaviest fruits were observed in Green Globe (296.3 g) whereas lightest fruits were in 20090265 (144.56 g). Aril percentage varied from 48.32 per cent to 70.94 per cent. Maximum aril/rind ratio was recorded in 20090265 (2.55) and minimum in Purple Heart (1.12). TSS content was maximum (15.87°B) in Purple Heart and minimum in (9.93 °B) in Ovadan. Titratable acidity was recorded highest in Gulyalek (2.26%) and lowest in Loulou (0.66%). Total sugar content ranged from 7.55 per cent (Ovadan) to 14.13 per cent (Purple Heart). Genotype Ovadan (30.60 mg/100ml) have highest anthocyanins content whereas Hakubotan (3.23 mg/100ml) have lowest anthocyanin content. Maximum phenols from the juice was obtained in Al-sirin-nar (981.24 mg/100g) whereas it is minimum in Alk Pust Ghermez Saveh (308.03 mg/100ml).
